What is Lightmap en
LightMap is a 3D Realtime Media Composition Server for Digital Signage / Projection Mapping. Simply controllable by an iPad.
Lightmap was born out of the necessity to provide a playout solution for an art installation with more than 40 screens. The main requirements for this system were synchronicity, stability and independent automatic playout. The entire system has to be configured once and then run independently for 5 months without user monitoring. In addition, an error tolerance should ensure that the system is not influenced in its basic characteristics.
WE Need You
Lightmap has only been used internally until now, we want to enable everyone to use our system. Lightmap is a simple secure video playout server for a wide range of customers from stage, theater, event, advertising. It is designed for simplicity, security and scalability. From small playout to the very large ones with multiple displays.
Your Benefits
1. Usability
The user experience was our foremost focus. User-friendliness was at the top of our list from the very beginning. Therefore it is possible to use LightMap without much training, even if there are several months between last using LightMap, you are immediately back in the workflow
2. Connectivity
Broad communication across levels, so that your existing infrastructure can simply continue to be used. All scene parameters can be easily controlled via sACN, ArtNet or OSC
3. Stability
Basis for the stability is the distribution of the screen outputs to several computers, so that it is guaranteed that in case of a single failure not the whole system is affected.
4. Mobility
By dividing the processes it is possible to use smaller devices. In an art project, 40 Intel NUC's were used, these were used directly on the beamer, thus eliminating the need for complex HDMI cabling. Only one network connection to each device is needed.
How It works
1. Download LightMap
Compositing is the act of combining visual elements from different sources into a single image. Compositing is usually an offline process and can take some time. With compositing built into the engine, users can easily visualize scenes combined in real-time.
2. Download App
Broad communication across levels, so that your existing infrastructure can simply continue to be used. All scene parameters can be easily controlled from a central console.
3. Connect
LightMap supports video and audio capture devices as a form of media that can be played inside the Engine. For example, you can take a live video feed from your webcam and play it directly inside your scene.
4. Have Fun
With the built-in scheduler, pre-configured scenes can be played back automatically and autonomously. The systems are started and stopped at a certain configurable time. So you don't waste unnecessary time with the control.
for stage
you need a reliable, robust solution for your stage, theater or event. Then LightMap is the right application for your project.
It fits perfectly into your environment, with suitable interfaces LightMap communicates with your environment via DMX / ART-NET / sACN
for architecture
In a building-specific projection, the special features of the architecture of an object are incorporated into the design of the projection content
for Digital signage
Digital signage has a broad basis for interaction with the viewer. For example in the field of advertising or promotion. Digital signage can be used in different locations, e.g. shopping mall / hospitality
for VJ‘s / Clubbing
A VJ adds visual highlights to an audio presentation. With the help of 2D and 3D elements he creates a new kind of show staging.
